OAuth 2 Facebook service

From MoodleDocs


Setup App in Facebook

To setup an OAuth 2 client with Facebook, first we need to log in to the Facebook for Developers Apps page and create a new app.

New App

Enter the name for the new App and choose a category (Education?).

Name it

On the left site menu, choose "settings" and fill in the basic settings: app icon, URLs to your privacy policy and terms of service.

Basic settings

On the left side menu, choose "+ Add product" and add "Facebook Login" product to the app. (Choose "Get started" button)

Add a product

Configure the OAuth settings. Set the callback URL to "your site url + /admin/oauth2callback.php". If your moodle site is available at https://lemon.edu/ then the callback URL should be set to https://lemon.edu/admin/oauth2callback.php. Enable the Web OAuth Login but for best security disable all other types of login.

OAuth settings

Go to App Review and make your App public.

Make it public

Finally go to the basic settings and get the App ID and App secret and enter them in Moodle as the Client ID and Client Secret.
